The Moustache Mug
Enjoy effortlessly masquerading behind a character moustache while
drinking your favourite tea or coffee. Every mug has a different design
on each side to explore your favourite masculine expression! Choose
between feisty Fu-Magnum, ambiguous Mustafa-Chaplin and cheeky
Maurice-Poirot!
So, yes, it has been awhile since I had done one of these. I found this and just couldn’t pass it up! It reminds me of the Soda ‘Stache. If you haven’t seen it yet, don’t worry. It has a planned appearance as a Random Picture Friday feature.
Have a great weekend!
Don’t forget! Manual Brewing Workshop at Brown Coffee Co. in San Antonio is Tomorrow!
Have a great weekend!

Brown is hosting a workshop focusing on manual brewing by the cup, which continues to find an ever-wider audience. This is a free and open workshop for serious home consumers as well as coffee professionals.
The goals for this gathering are simple:
-To continue growing the coffee community in Texas
-To provide some outlines of popular manual brewing devices
-To help level-set baristas with best practices around manual brewing
-To introduce a game-changing device for the industry that’s soon to be on the market: the Luminaire Bravo-1
Hope you can make it out for a fun evening with great coffee, great coffee people and some of the latest and greatest coffee equipment around.
It seems as though this is the season for events in the coffee community. This time, Brown Coffee Company is hosting a Manual Brew Methods workshop in San Antonio. Manual brew methods gained steam when Starbucks bought the Coffee Equipment Company(inventors and sellers of the Clover brewer that made waves.. for awhile), and baristas were suddenly in search of a replacement for the cup-at-a-time marketing tool known as the Clover 1S.
Brewing is not the same as brewing well. Manual brew methods require skill, attention, and concentration. Most coffee establishments lack these basic requirements, but there are a few institutions who have, or who plan to implement a cup-at-a-time brew method to their list of options for their ever-discerning patrons to choose from.
Here is the scoop:
